7/31 - 8/6

I used the bathroom at 5:30 a.m. and then went back to bed. But that's tomorrow's post. Right now, I am taking it easy before I get up and get ready to go to work. Last week was real. Last week was good. I'll let you decide if it was real good.

Monday I hit the little pool for 3,050 yards. In the late afternoon, Paul B and I did our only leg session of the week which included some yoke walks in the street.

I was back in the pool Tuesday morning for 2,600 meters in a straight swim. I lifted that afternoon and shuffled 2.31 miles on the treadmill.

Wednesday was a super practice in the little pool what went 4,200 yards and included some tough intervals. On the treadmill, I added another 1.19 miles and did more lifting at the City.

Straight swimming was back on the agenda for Thursday, but this time in the little pool. I went 4,000 yards then took the rest of the day off.

Friday I did a short, easy swim for 1,450 yards and a bit of lifted at Plate City. Saturday was Bikes, Blues[,] & Bayous. I just read someone comment on Facebook that we (the cyclists) need an escort. This was in response to the rider being killed. We had a HUGE law enforcement presence from the start all the way to the end. It would have been impossible to be anywhere near that ride and not know something was going on, not to see highway patrol and sheriff vehicles with blue lights on not to mention the numerous SAG vehicles on the road. If you are a motorist, ask yourself one question: why do you hate cyclists? That's all I'm saying about that.

For the week, I

  cycled 61.2 miles,
  lifted weights four times,
  ran 3.5 miles, and
  swam 14,206 meters

The swimming numbers and the cycling numbers were pretty good. The lifting wasn't bad considering I needed that taper before the ride. So it was a pretty good week. Now, I have to start running! I can't explain what has happened there. The heat hasn't helped. Well, things change this week with me starting back to school. We'll see how it goes.
